00:00You mentioned before the Lions and the Vikings and of course they have such an
00:03important week 18 matchup coming up to determine not only who wins the NFC
00:08North but who gets that first round by that number one overall seed in the NFC
00:12going into the postseason and I've been saying for months you know Bill's Lions
00:17Bill's Lions that's the Super Bowl I believe we will get it's the Super Bowl
00:21that I certainly want as a fan I think it'd be wildly entertaining but what I'm
00:25wondering is you know that by week it does matter if somehow and I don't
00:29believe this will happen but it could if somehow Minnesota does win this week
00:3318 matchup and we see Detroit have to play in the opening round they don't get
00:38that rest already dealing with a bunch of injuries the Lions does the
00:42possibility of Dan Campbell's squad advancing all the way become just a
00:48little bit more unrealistic do you look at the Lions differently than if they
00:52get the one seed what becomes a much greater challenge it when the Steelers
00:58won the Super Bowl in 05 they were the first team that was seated at the bottom
01:03of the bracket they were a six at that at that they were the six seed even
01:06though they were a double-digit win team because again the nature of the playoff
01:11seating they were they were the lowest team in the bracket and they had to win
01:15at Cincinnati at Indianapolis and then at Denver in order to advance to the
01:21Super Bowl so it is a daunting challenge and it does make it more difficult and
01:25it kind of makes it more annoying when you're a team like Minnesota or Detroit
01:30we're talking about your team like Detroit that's been fantastic all year
01:35and they make you go on the road it's it's ridiculous and it's so I think I
01:40think there's a little bit of annoyance at that as well that you have to go
01:43prove it against a team that clearly isn't as accomplished as you are and
01:48because of the playoff format still existing as it does you have to do that
01:53so it would be whoever has to take that that lesser seat in this case is at a
02:00significant disadvantage without a doubt there's a lot to play for in that Lions
02:04Vikings game
